National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Rudeš or Dinamo Zagreb that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Rudeš nor Dinamo Zagreb as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Rudeš form and stats
Last season, Rudeš's Croatia Cup journey ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the 2. HNL for Rudeš at their home stadium (Igralište NK Rudeš) is 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. Rudeš haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Sesvete, 76 days ago.
The Rudeš goalkeeper Matija Bruci is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2. HNL.
Rudeš drew their last game, also a home match. Dugopolje was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Before that match, a 2. HNL win away at Junak.
Rudeš are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. 10 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Dinamo Zagreb form and stats

Dinamo has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Rijeka for a 1. HNL game that ended a draw (2-2). A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs CSKA Moskva.
A quick return to home after this game, as Dinamo are hosting Varazdin in the 1. HNL only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Dinamo's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 8 league matches away. 8 goals have been conceded by Dinamo Zagreb in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
